It must be the weather, the reason that I’ve been in a daze for the last week or so. Toronto hasn’t felt this nice in so long, and everyone should be taking advantage of the Vitamin D. Dressing for early summer involves planning for the potential of extreme heat, with breezes and the potential dropping of temperature come sundown. I tend to gravitate towards breathable fabrics like silk, that are ideal for absorbing any sweat during the day while being light weight and easy to be worn layered under a sweater for the evening.

Winter weekends are about warmth and comfort. Sweaters should be soft, pants should be warm, and you should enjoy wearing your clothing.

On the weekends, I love wearing more comfortable outfits, it’s a time when I can dress down and feel good in some of my favourite pieces. These pants by Cut25 are actually cut amazingly. My BFF, Jordana, and I both picked them up when shopping on our recent trip in Miami, we both have completely different styles and bodies, and they worked of each of us perfectly.  Finding miracle pants like these are rare, though, the two of us have worked the same items before with brands like Jbrand, Banana Republic, and Joe Fresh. What are some brands you and your best friend love?
